Three Frogs in Satan’s Evil Euphrates Seat,

PLUS Three Frogs In U.S. Government Seats,

Which may be the way prophecy says it Ends,

As Three Dreaded Ones Rise Out Of Euphrates,

And three dreaded ones take control of America!

I can’t think of three more suited for Armageddon!

To be Here to Welcome the Coming Jihad Antichrist!

They are appropriately named as the dreaded Three!

Revelation 16:10-16 – And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, [11] And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores,

and repented not of their deeds. [12] And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. [13] And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. [14] For they are

the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. [15] Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. [16] And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

If Obama is elected, I must remind myself that that God both “removeth kings, and setteth up kings.” Obama may be perfect to being the dramatic events in the Middle East to a conclusion aligned with the prophecies closing the end of the Age of the Gentiles. He would not be the first king who God set up to do something the king was personally opposed to doing in his era of rule, and yet he was used as an instrument to fulfill God’s prophecies.

Daniel 2:20,21 – Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: [21] And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:

Evans-Novak Political Report points to a huge Electoral College Victory for Obama

WASHINGTON — The biennial state-by-state, district-by-district rundown of Tuesday’s election by the Evans-Novak Political Report points to a huge Electoral College victory by Sen.

Barack Obama, though short of the total blowout that some have predicted, with Democrats significantly increasing their majorities in the Senate and House.

Conditions align for possible purge of Republicans

JOHN IBBITSON

From Friday’s Globe and Mail

October 16, 2008 at 8:47 PM EST

WASHINGTON — Call them the Dreaded Three.

At a rally in Downington, Pa., Thursday, Republican presidential candidate John McCain warned that his rival, Barack Obama, was conspiring with “Speaker Pelosi and Senator Reid to raise taxes, increase spending, take away your right to vote by secret ballot in labour elections and concede defeat in Iraq.”

Mr. Obama’s rise in popularity, President George W.

Bush’s record unpopularity and all-round hard times are threatening a purge of Republicans in what Americans call down-ticket races: elections for everything from senator to local sheriff.

In Washington, the result could be a Democratic trifecta: Barack Obama in the White House; a swollen Democratic majority in the House of Representatives led by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and something approaching a filibuster-proof Senate led by Majority Leader Harry Reid.

Republican candidate faced a sharp round of questioning about from the talk show host about Sarah Palin and his campaign tactics.

The presidential candidates swapped self-deprecating jokes at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Dinner.

Joe Wurzelbacher, also known as Joe the Plumber gives his views on politics and government.

The Ohio plumber referred to by Republican John McCain as Joe the Plumber in the final presidential debate says he’s surprised he was mentioned so many times

But here’s the thing: Such a result is likely to deliver a Congress that is more, rather than less, conservative than what’s there now.

How serious is the situation for the Republicans? Well consider: The Democrats currently hold a paper-thin majority in the Senate, 51 to 49, with 35 Senate seats at stake.

The head of the GOP’s Senate re-election committee believes that losing five seats would be a good night.

“We are facing a pretty strong headwind,” Senator John Ensign told Reuters Thursday. “A really good night for us would be 44. A really bad night would be if they get 60.”

Sixty is a magic number. It takes that many votes to override a filibuster on legislation. Even at 56, the Democrats would only need to woo four moderate Republicans to produce a filibuster-proof majority.

With less than three weeks to go, John Sununu, Republican of New Hampshire, trails Jeanne Shaheen by high single digits. In Colorado, incumbent Bob Schaffer is behind former Representative Mark Udall by double-digit numbers. Norm Coleman is trailing the former comedian Al Franken in Minnesota, and a jury may decide whether Ted Stevens of Alaska survives the challenge of Mark Begich. Mr. Stevens is currently being tried on corruption charges.

Even such high-profile figures as Elizabeth Dole (North Carolina), Saxby Chambliss, (Georgia) and Mitch McConnell (Kentucky) are fighting for their political lives.

In the House, the Democrats already have a healthy majority of 235 to 199, with one seat vacant. The Evans-Novak Political Report predicts that the Republicans should celebrate on election night if they lose only a dozen seats.

But many of the Democratic new arrivals are expected to be Blue Dogs – fiscally conservative Democrats, usually from the South, who often oppose their own party on spending issues. There are currently 47 self-identified Blue Dogs in the House.

In such troublesome times, an enlarged conservative Democratic caucus in the House could act as a brake on spending measures, especially if the surviving Republican representatives are more genuinely fiscally conservative than the spendthrifts of the last two Congresses.

The predictions of congressional catastrophe for the Republicans are based in part on the assumption that Mr. Obama has established a commanding lead in the polls. There are some who think that’s hogwash.

The polling data suggest that Mr.

McCain trails Mr.

Obama “by 4 to 5 per cent,” Todd Eberly, a political scientist at Maryland’s St. Mary’s College, concluded in an analysis published this week in National Review Online. “… A 4- to 5-per-cent lead is far from insurmountable.”

Daily tracking polls Zogby, Rasmussen and Gallup report a stable race, with Mr. Obama enjoying the lead that Mr. Eberly describes. There have even been signs among these polls in recent days that the race is tightening.

It is the one-off polls that tell a very different story.

Both Ipsos/McClatchy and L.A. Times/Bloomberg released surveys this week saying the gap has widened to nine points, while a New York Times/CBS survey said Mr. Obama was ahead of Mr.

McCain by 14 percentage points.

Scott Keeter, director of survey research at the Pew Research Center, says daily tracking polls tend to weight their results by party preference, while the one-off polls often do not. Pollsters also disagree about what the sample size of Democrats, Republicans and independents should be. Some polls include all registered voters, while others count only those who say they are likely to vote.

That said, a reliable guide with polling compendiums is to knock off the top and bottom results and average the rest, in which case Mr.

Obama’s lead is in the high single digits.

An even more reliable guide is to listen to Republican strategists who are prepared to speak candidly. Ed Rollins, who ran Ronald Reagan’s 1984 campaign, predicted on CNN that Nov. 4 “is going to turn into a landslide. …We could lose 10 Senate seats. We could lose 25 House seats.”

Also on CNN, host Anderson Cooper asked the veteran political consultant David Gergen, who has served presidents from Nixon to Clinton, what Mr. McCain’s strategy should be going forward.

“Beats the hell out of me,” he replied.

Iran: America Beware of Our Martyrdom-Seekers

Following the recent U.S. strikes in Pakistan and Syria, Iranian Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani threatened suicide attacks against the U.S., the Iranian news agency IRNA reported Tuesday.

“The weak point of the Americans and the Zionists is that they lack a force of jihad fighters and martyrdom-seekers. The military experience of recent decades has shown that military power does not depend on advanced [technological] means but on the ability to take risks – an ability that is grounded in a strong will,” he said. “Today, this path [of martyrdom] has defeated the unilateral aggressiveness of America and the Zionists, and has forced them to withdraw.” (MEMRI)

Hamas Producing Ano ther Palestinian Generation that Believes in Resistance

Taghreed El-Khodary

At a sports stadium in Gaza one recent October evening, 300 newly married couples along with relatives and friends ga

thered for a mass wedding celebration, the 10th here this year courtesy of Hamas.

Hamas has been observing a truce with Israel since June, allowing its underground fighters to resurface but leaving them without much to do. At the same time, hundreds of the group’s women have been recently widowed, their husbands having been killed either in confrontations with Israel or in fighting between Hamas and Fatah. Taking advantage of the pause in violence, the Hamas leaders have turned to matchmaking, bringing together single fighters and widows, and providing dowries and wedding parties for the many who cannot afford such trappings of matrimony.

“Marriage is the same as jihad,” or holy war, said Muhammad Yousef, one recently married member of the Qassam Brigades, the Hamas underground.

“With marriage, you are producing another generation that believes in resistance.” The night before the mass wedding party, Yousef said, his wife shared with him her ultimate wish: to carry out a joint suicide attack against Israel. (New York Times)

Excerpt 3 – Dallas Morning News

Holy Land Jurors Get Sample of Hamas Martyr Propaganda

Jason Trahan

Jurors in the Holy Land Foundation terrorism financing trial on Thursday saw some disturbing examples of Hamas propaganda glorifying young suicide bombers. One poster features 18-year-old Abdel Mu’ti Muhammad Salih Shabanah.

According to the FBI’s translation, he is a “high school student who preferred the martyrdom certificate over the life’s certificate…so he headed to Jerusalem to attain martyrdom.” The poster is one of several that the Israeli military confiscated from the offices of the Islamic Charitable Society of Hebron, one of several groups in the Palestinian territories that received millions of dollars from Holy Land. “Avi,” one of two anonymous Israeli government witnesses, testified that these charity groups were fronts for Hamas, not only because of Hamas propaganda found there, but also because they were led by known Hamas operatives. According to the FBI, Holy Land sent the Islamic Charitable Society of Hebron about $1.6 million from 1991 to 2001.

Accurate Portrait of Obama and America

November 1, 2008

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

Please read the article by Jon ath

an Rosenblum in THE JERUSALEM POST which follows our heading.

This is the fairest, most accurate and truthful assessment of the times in which we find ourselves on an international plain. Its intertwining of the fiber of American history with the character of Obama, as

it relates to the future of America and its ally Israel, is right on target. Obama is, without question, one of the greatest, if not the greatest, liberal in the American Congress. If America wants to be like Europe, then it will vote for Obama.

I do not believe he shares the exact views of all the many unsavory characters with which he has associated, but to say they have not influenced him to favor socialism as a reasonable form of way to govern America, is naïve to the extreme.

Obama is an extremely intelligent, well-heeled liberal, who has arisen from the world of the elite, those who hold the cosmopolitan viewpoints of intellect. I have lived in a center-right America for most of my life, and it will be hard for me to function under a left wing government. I must confess that Obama’s philosophies, as one of the potential princes of this world, have “nothing in me.” If he is elected, it will be interesting to see how my center-right freedom of speech will be affected, and how many of my ministerial preaching freedoms will end.

Begin Excerpt from the Jerusalem Post

Think Again: The end of the special relationship?

October 30, 2008

Jonathan Rosenblum , THE JERUSALEM POST

For those inclined to see the workings of divine providence in human history, the special affinity of the American people for Israel provides a happy example. If Israel could have only one consistent ally in the world, it would surely have picked the world’s (still) most powerful nation. Without the United States, Israel would be hard pressed to obtain the weapons needed to defend itself.

American popular support for Israel has many sources. The first is historical. The Puritan founders of the Massachusetts Bay Colony self-consciously modeled themselves on the ancient Hebrews and styled themselves as the New Israel. The Hebrew Bible provided their guidance. All the early presidents of Yale were Hebraists, and the college’s insignia was patterned on the urim vetumim worn by the high priest.

To this day, Americans remain by far the most religious people in the Western world. Seventy million American Evangelicals constitute Israel’s most ardent supporters.

Americans have always tended to be jealous of their sovereignty and willing to defend themselves ag

a inst

any threat to their liberty. The state motto of New Hampshire, “Live free or die,” captures that spirit. As such, they admire Israel’s doughty self-defense against far more numerous enemies.

In Western terms, America is a center-right country. A major aspect of the American exceptionalism discussed by historians is its failure to develop a class-based political movement. That too has strengthened the bonds to Israel. Among American liberals, who tend to see the world in terms of victims and oppressors, 59 percent view the Palestinians more or equally sympathetically (according to a 2002 Gallup poll). Among conservatives, whose focus is on particular values and the determination to defend them, 59% view Israel more favorably.

The presence in America of the world’s largest Jewish community – a community that is both wealthy and politically active – has also shored up American support for Israel. (That community, however, is diminishing both in numbers and concern with Israel; many of the most active supporters of Israel in Congress come from states with few Jews.)

BELIEF IN American exceptionalism, its chosenness, has always played a major role in

American civic religion.

The two dominant conceptions of American foreign policy – isolationism and liberal internationalism – are both predicated upon an assumption of American moral superiority. Isolationists fear contamination from the “foreign entanglements,” of which president George Washington warned in his farewell address. Liberal internationalists seek to remake the world in America’s image.

Sen. Barack Obama represents a third foreign policy approach – what Harvard political scientist Samuel Huntington calls the “cosmopolitan.” Far from taking American virtue as its starting point, the cosmopolitan seeks to remake America in Europe’s image.

Thus Obama presented himself to Europeans last summer as a citizen of the world, one of them. “Mr. Obama,” in the words of Fouad Ajami, “proceeds from the notion of American guilt. ‘We called up the furies…'” He accepts the Western European critique of America’s aggressiveness and seeks to restore American “moral standing” in the eyes of

the world.

He shares the Europeans’ contempt for the terminology of good and evil: “A lot of evil’s been perpetuated based on the claim that we were fighting evil,” he says. If his heart thrilled at the sight of Iraqis twice braving suicide bombers to go the polls, he kept it to himself. The war in Iraq, in his view, was nothing more than a “cynical attempt by Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz and other armchair, weekend warriors… to shove their own ideological agendas down our throats, irrespective of the cost in lives lost and in hardships borne.”

And he expresses understanding for the grievances of the perpetrators of evil – Hamas, Hizbullah, even the perpetrators of 9/11, which he characteristically portrayed as part of “an underlying struggle between worlds of plenty and worlds of want” (despite the affluent backgrounds of the attackers). He voted against a Senate bill to designate the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization.

Obama’s most fervent support has come from the university campuses and cultural elites – where attitudes tend most to resemble those of Western Europeans, and where scorn for those who “cling to guns or religion” runs rampant. These campuses also happen to be the redoubts of the greatest hostility to Israel.

AN AMERICA that more closely resembles Western Europe will not be good for Israel. Western Europeans consistently deem Israel the greatest threat to world peace. And they are remarkably cavalier about Israel’s defense of its own existence. Recent memory does not include any Israeli response to attack that the Europeans did not deem disproportionate. The Western European countries have done little to prevent the United Nations from degenerating into an anti-Israel debating society, and a number have supported or abstained on UN Human Rights Council resolutions supportive of anti-Israel “resistance” – i.e. terrorism.

Many commonly held attitudes predispose Europeans against Israel. Western Europe is far along a project of transferring political legitimacy from nation-states to supranational organizations like the European Union, the UN and the International Criminal Court. Having achieved their nation-state rather late in the day, the Jews of Israel remain proud of it. To the Europeans, however, a non-Muslim state based on national/religious identity seems an atavism.

Western Europe’s almost religious faith in international institutions of open membership, like the UN, and a declining concern with national sovereignty threaten Israel. International criminal jurisdiction has already rendered Israeli military personnel wary of traveling abroad.

Obama frequently demonstrates a similar reverence for the UN, and has a long list of international treaty obligations to which he is eager

to submit the US.

Europe has adopted a stance of appeasement toward both external threats and to Islamic minorities within. (Ironically, the US, which offers no special dispensation to Muslims, has done a far better job of integrating Muslim immigrants than European countries.) Europeans’ abhorrence of any resort to military action causes them to instinctively recoil from Israel, the superior military power in the region.

Having moved beyond simplistic categories of good and evil, Europeans try to take, at best, an even-handed approach to any conflict, invariably warning, for instance, against a “cycle of violence” whenever Israel responds to attack.

Obama’s immediate call for “mutual restraint” after the Russian invasion of Georgia was a classic example of that tendency.

Worse, European sophistication favors whichever party can present itself as the aggrieved underdog, or serves to mask an ugly cynicism, as in the recent multibillion-dollar deals signed by Austrian and Swiss energy companies with Iran.

To the extent that Obama’s likely election betokens a move toward a more European America, the special ties that have bound the people of America and Israel show signs of fraying.
